THIS 1956 ELVA MK 11, KDY68 IS A FACTORY PROTOTYPE WITH AN EXPERIMENTAL ALUMINUM STREAMLINED BODY. IT HAS A FWA COVENTRY CLIMAX ENGINE WITH 94 hp 1097CC WHICH CAME FROM THE EX STIRLING MOSS COOPER BOBTAIL. THE CAR FEATURED THE NEW DE DION REAR END AND SUSPENSION WHICH FOLLOWING TESTING WAS SOON MODIFIED TO THE PRESENT DESIGN AND USED ON LATER PRODUCTION MK11 AND MK 111 MODELS. KDY 68 WAS RACED ALL OVER EUROPE AS THE WORKS RACER WITH MANY SIGNIFICANT WINS, BY ARCHIE SCOTT BROWN, STUART LEWIS EVANS, ROBBIE MACKENZIE-LOW AND MANY OTHER OWNERS. IN 1997 KDY 68 WAS FOUND IN SWITZERLAND BY ELVA RACING AND SYMPATHETICALLY RESTORED LEAVING THE PATINA INTACT, THE FOLLOWING YEAR IT WAS INVITED TO THE 1998 GOODWOOD REVIVAL MEETING WHERE IT WAS DISPLAYED AND ONCE AGAIN DRIVEN BY ROBBIE MACKENZIE-LOW.
